Wallaya previously had a cute ice cream shop here and has converted it into adorable apartments for traveling guests. The space is located in Dusit, a leafy European-style suburb that is the center of political life in Thailand. While it is just one tuktuk away from the infamous Khao San Road, it is a quiet and meditative retreat from the neverending grind of city life. A sophisticated seafood lunch awaits you on the main drag off the side-street, and midnight snacks can be had at a 7-11 just down the road. A fresh market with live fish and local produce opens daily along the larger canal just 10 minutes away on foot. While such sedate digs might not appeal to the raucous backpacker set, couples and families with children will have an unforgettable experience here.
